Customer Reviews

Good condition

As I live in Freshwater I thought it would be facinating to see what the antics of the locals was like. Very funny, and book is in perfectly good condition...

Fun! Fun! Fun!

For anyone who enjoys Virginia Woolf, this play is a great find. Anyone who is involved in Women Studies, Photography, or Humanities needs to add this book to their bookshelf. Freshwater: A Comedy connects Virginia Woolf with her aunt, photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. My suggestion is pick up any book on Julia Margaret Cameron to get the full effect of the eccentricies and fobiles of the wealthy and famous of the 1900's.

A Woolf-lovers must!

I stumbled upon this book while looking for Edward Gorey illustrations and have since bought two to give as gifts! Freshwater gives the reader insight into Virginia's life, humor, times, and friends. An amusing, quick read that makes you want to get a group of people together to act it out.
